Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the definition of ecology: Ecology is the branch of biology that deals with the relationships of organisms to one another and to their physical surroundings.
Identify the key focus of ecology: It primarily studies interactions between organisms and their environment, including both biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) components.
Analyze each option: Consider whether each subject involves interactions between organisms and their environment.
Genetic mutations in DNA and chemical reactions in cells are more related to molecular biology and biochemistry, focusing on internal processes rather than interactions with the environment.
The structure of the human heart is a topic in anatomy and physiology, focusing on the internal structure of an organism rather than its interactions with the environment.
